COOKING AND ROASTI-NG STOVE- Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 15, 1905. Serial No- 265,393-

.To an whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANZ GLOWACKI, a subject of the German Emperor,residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking and RoastingStoves, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to cooking and roasting or baking stoves,and particularly to some improvements thereon, and has for its object toarrange the oven or stove in such a manner that the same can be usedfrom either of two sides, according to its location in the kitchen.

A further object of my invention is to provide the stove withsteam-absorbing means to convey the steam of the boiling substance intothe stove, whence it will exit with the lire-gases through the chimney.

In order to make my invention more clear, the same is illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, in which similar reference-letters denotecorresponding parts, and in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of mystove; Fig. 2, a similar elevation as seen from the opposite sidethereof; Fig. 3, a top plan view, partly broken away; Fig. 4, a verticalsection through line y y of Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 a vertical sectionthrough line 2 z ofFig. 3.

With reference to the drawings, a represents the stove, the cover I) ofwhich forms the cooking-plate. At one end the ordinary fire-grate cisarranged within the stove, which may receive the fuel through the holes01 d of the cooking-plate. Opposite and parallel with the fire-chamberextends throughout the entire width of the stove the roasting or bakingchamber 6. This roasting or baking chamber is accessible from twoopposite sides of the stove and is provided with verticallyswingingdoors f f Between the bakingchamber and the side wall g of the stove afree space is left, which I provide by a vertical partition-wall h (seeFigs. 3, 4, and 5) in two halves t t. This partition-wall extends fromthe bottom j to the cover I) of the stove and has its lower endtransversally extended up to the opposite end of the baking-chamber,which extension h divides the space underneath the baking-chamber alsoin two compartments is Z. At the upper end of the compartments i 01,formed by the vertical part of the partition-wall h, flap-doors or thelike are arrangedone for each compartment. In the example shown the flapdoors m m are hinged to the upper part of the outer wall a of thebaking-chamber and are adapted to fold over the top 0 of the saidchamber when opened and when closed to rest upon a rib p, projectingfrom the side wall g of the stove inward. The flaps may be provided withknobs p or the like to allow their operation from the outside.

In the side wall gthere may be holes Q g, into which elbow-pipes r 7"may be fitted, or such elbow-pipes may be cast integral with the stoveand adapted to have a smoke-pipe s removably applied thereto.

According to the location of the stove, one of the holes Q q or theelbow-pipes r r is closed up by a suitable cover to or the like-and uponthe other elbow the smoke-pipe. s is applied which conveys the smokeinto the chimney.

When the stove stands so that the door f is used for serving thebaking-chamber, the door f at the opposite side of the stove and theopening q or the respective elbow-pipe 1", projecting therefrom, must betightly closed. The smoke-pipe 8, through which the smoke is conveyedinto the chimney, is applied to the elbow-pipe r and the flap m of thecompartment t is opened, whereas the flap m is closed. The fire-gaseswill flow from the firegrate 0 over the top of the baking-chamberthrough the open flap m and the respective compartment 71 downward, thenthrough the lower compartment Z around the transversal extension 72, ofthe partition 7t into the lower compartment 7c, then upward into thecompartment t, which has its flap m closed, and thence exit through theelbow-pipe 1" into the smoke-pipe s and chimney.

If the stove is located so that the bakingchamber can be morecomfortably served through the door f, the door f and the opening q orthe elbow-pipe r projecting therefrom are tightly closed and the opening9 or the corresponding elbow-pipe 1 opened and the smoke-pipe s isapplied to the latter. The flap m is closed and the flap m opened. Thefire-gases will flow over the top of the bakingchamber through the opencompartment 7) downward into the lower compartment Zc, then around thelower part of the bakingchamber and the extension h of thepartition-wall it, through the lower compartment Z, upward into theclosed compartment 'L, and thence through the open elbow r and smokepipe.9 into the chimney.

Below the baking-chamber there may be a soot-box having also at twovsides of the stove vertically-swinging doors t t The ash-box is arrangedbelow the firegrate and has a door it, which may be provided with meansby which it can be hermetically closed.

In order to allow the steam from boiling or cooking substances to be ledoff through the chimney together with the fire-gases, a steam-absorbingpipe '0 may be used that can be removably applied to the walls of thestove at either end of the fire-grate. For this purpose in both walls ofthe stove at the ends of the grate holes may be arraned terminating inthe fire-chamber. According to the position of the stove, the steam-pipei) may be removably fixed in one of the holes, while the other hole isclosed up by a suitable cover.

Obviously when the ash-dooru is hermetically closed, the draft in thestove will create also a draft in the steam-pipe, which will draw thesteam rising from the boiling or cooking substances into the fire-box,in which it will mix with the fire -gases and exit through thesmoke-pipe 8 into the chimney.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination with a cooking-stove, of a roasting or baking chamberextending transversally within the stove, said chamber being accessiblefrom two ends, a partitionwall dividing the space between the outer wallof the said chamber and one of the side walls of the stove into twovertical compart ments, a transversal extension of the partition at itslower end dividing the space below the baking-chamber into twotransversal compartments, a fire-box at the opposite end of the stove,flap-valves at the up or end of the vertical compartments, saidap-valves being adapted to alternatively control the passage of thefire-gases through said compartments, the wall of the stove beingprovided with controllable holes, each terminating in a separatecompartment, a smoke pipe adapted to be alternatively fixed in saidholes, substantially and for the purpose as specified.

2. The combination with a cooking-stove, of a roasting or baking chamberextending transversally within the stove, said chamber being accessiblefrom two ends, doors at said two ends of the chamber, said doors beingcapable of swinging vertically, a partitionwall dividing the spacebetween the outer wall of the baking-chamber and one of the side wallsof the stove into two vertical compartments, said partition-wall'havinga tranversal extension at its lower end dividing the space underneaththe baking-chamber into two transversal compartments, flap-valves at theupper end of the vertical compartments, said flap-valves beingcontrollable from the outside and adapted to alternatively permit thepassage of the fire-gases through the respective compartment, the wallof the stove being provided with controllable holes, each terminatinginto a separate compartment, a smoke-pipe adapted to be alternativelyfixed in said holes, substantially and for the purpose as specified.

In testimony whereof I a'lfix my signature in presence of two witnesses.FRANZ GLOWAOKI. WVitnesses:
